A NOTEBOOK filled with old newspaper clippings, carefully collected by a father as part of his efforts to educate his children, has captured public attention despite being kept for nearly 30 years, Kosmo! reported.
In a post on Threads, user @ftrhmuzan shared how his father-in-law had cut out important and interesting newspaper articles and pasted them into a notebook over the years, effectively creating a mini encyclopedia that has been carefully preserved to this day.
The post also caught the attention of other social media users, some of whom recalled doing the same during their school days.
The user shared a scouting book belonging to his late father, which was compiled in 1979 and remains in the family’s possession.
“I learnt many things from this book, and it is still in my possession today,” he said.
